Pros:

First ingredient is a named meat product

Cons:

Insufficient meat content, mixed quality ingredients

The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat product in the food. The main grains in the food are barley and rice. These are decent quality grains, but with three grains and only one meat product ahead of the fat content, the food appears rather grain heavy. Rice bran is a grain fragment we consider to be primarily filler.

Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. The food contains a small amount of vegetable matter in the form of sweet potatoes.

Overall, the product appears to have minimal meat content, and remaining ingredients are of mixed quality.
